New Discount vs. Used
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand the point of buying new and it's great if you have got the money, BUT if you can afford the sticker price of a new one, but are concerned over not getting the best deal wouldn't you;
a) Buy one with 50 hours on from the US
b) Buy an R66 - even a used one with a couple of hundred hours on
What would make all the difference to me is if you are absolutely only ever going to be the only pilot maybe there's some justification for getting a new one, but if anyone else is going to ever fly it when you are not in it - it's practically the same as having a "nearly new".
So I'd adopt the attitude of either buy used and get a deal or buy new and get what you can get but don't get hung up on the discount !
